by Joseph Allen Alesnik (Author)
For almost thirty years, photographer Joseph Alesnik has captured the majestic beauty of the Bahamian islands. In Exuma Through My Eyes, he invites readers on a deeply personal and visually stunning journey through the heart of his second home.
More than just a collection of pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters, this photobook is a celebration of authentic Bahamian culture, history, and community. Wander through the historic settlements of Rolleville and George Town, discover the legacy of the 1829 slave rebellion led by Pompey, and experience vibrant local life-from the difficult task of crabbing in the bush at night to savoring fresh conch salad by the sea.
At the heart of this collection is the thrilling tradition of Bahamian sloop sailing. Get a front-row seat to the Rolleville Homecoming and the prestigious National Family Island Regatta. Alesnik's lens beautifully preserves the legacy of these magnificent vessels and the legendary sailors who captained them, paying special tribute to the "Skipper of the Century," Captain Rolly Gray.
Whether you are a frequent visitor to the islands, a sailing enthusiast, or an armchair traveler seeking a tropical escape, this book offers a rare, authentic glimpse into the true spirit of Exuma.
